I am SO excited that it's opening day today! Baseball is my favorite sport to watch, and I just love the Angels! I got to go to a pre-season game on Tuesday with Shea. It was a fun cross-town rivalry against the Dodgers (whom I do not like). I don't like basketball either, but if I do have to watch basketball, obviously it's all about college and March Madness. Perhaps I don't like Basketball because I'm surrounded by these freaks. Anyways, the Angels beat up on the Dodgers and I'm really excited about the season and baseball being back.
Our favorite spot in the spring :)
As for working out, I'm feeling awesome and feel like after those two races are now in the past, I have a weight lifted off my shoulders! I thought about running the Seal Beach 5K this weekend, but I haven't already signed up and it's a little pricey at this point. Meh! I think I'll just go for a nice 5 miler that morning or to the gym. I ran a four miler on Monday, took two rest days and then this morning ran to the gym and did a lot while I was there. I was so sweaty when I left and my legs were dead from all the jumps I did.
60 box jumps
4 – 30 second planks
60 push ups
60 sit ups
30 dips
30 chest press machine reps
30 rows
30 lat pulldowns
30 bench press with 30 pounds
I felt awesome afterwords and ran home. Getting out of bed is hard, but once I'm up I feel so much better and there is nothing that makes me feel as good as kicking my day off with an awesome gym workout. So I'm thinking I can probably run a 10k or Half in April just for fun, so we'll see what I can find. As for now, I love working out hard! The weight of the double marathons is gone and now I'm back to getting into shape and feeling great.
Tomorrow…. a music post and I promise on Monday I'll have the giveaway!
Light up that Halo, Angels!

The island, which will see its first wind farm bring 82MW online later this year, plans to have 165MW of installed capacity by 2013, producing an annual 275GWh of electricity.
Ioannis Chryssis, senior energy officer at the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, says that wind energy will become the most important renewable energy electricity source, ahead of photovoltaic and biomass power. "It is possible that the wind energy forecast could be increased," notes Chryssis.
"A preliminary study by the transmission system operator showed that about 300MW was the maximum the grid could support but we will see how the system behaves when the first wind farm is connected later this year."

If you seek only the best, be prepared for epic highs and lows.
Monster bucks are a rare thing.
But you already know that if you've spent any time in the woods trying to put your tag on one.
And while he'll be the first to tell you he lives in an area that holds more bruiser bucks than most other locations, Daryl Sidwell is one of those even-more-rare-than-trophy-bucks hunters who takes monster whitetails on a regular basis. And it's no accident.
"I have no problem with guys who go out and take whatever buck they want," he said recently. "For me, I like the challenge. I'm blessed to live in an area that has big deer, and the scouting and preparation for the season is more than half the fun. What gets my heart pumping is tagging a mature buck, and it makes all the work and time I put in before the season worth it."
That big reward can come at a big cost, however, as Daryl learned in 2008.
He had gone about his preparations for the bow season pretty much the same as other years. He put out trail cameras and visited the woods on rare occasions, just enough to keep his fingers on the pulse of things.
Daryl has a simple philosophy when it comes to taking trophies: There is a brief window every year when monster bucks are vulnerable. He says it happens at about the same time every year, the second week of November, give or take a day or two. When that window opens, he spends every second of shootable light in a stand.
"There's just something about that time," he said. "You can grunt and rattle, and if there's a buck in the area, he can't keep himself from coming in."
Daryl was in attack mode on Nov. 10, 2008. He had several trail camera photos of big bucks and knew he was in a good spot. And it was "that time."
I happened to be hunting across town that day during my annual hunt with Dixon Farms Whitetails in Colchester. Daryl and I had been exchanging text messages, making jokes and sharing reports of deer sightings. I suspected something was up when I hadn't heard anything from him that evening.
Sure enough, about two hours after I returned to camp, the call came in. Daryl had shot a huge 8-pointer. There was just one catch: He hadn't found the buck and sign was sparse. Daryl wanted help tracking and was gathering friends who knew their way around a deer trail.
"You sure you want to go after him tonight?" I asked.
"I normally wouldn't," he said, "but we have heavy rain coming in and I'm afraid it's now or never."
When our search party of eight gathered at Daryl's hunting spot, he took five minutes to tell us the tale. It had happened pretty fast. "I looked about 150 yards down the timber and saw a buck with pretty good tines," he said. "I wanted a better look, so I hit the grunt call two or three times. The buck came right up this creek bed and stood broadside at 20 yards. There was no doubt in my mind as soon as I saw him coming up the creek that he was a shooter."
Daryl took the shot, which he said seemed pretty good.
"He ran about 30 yards and stood behind some brush looking around kind of like, 'What was that?' I thought he was going to drop right there. Of course, that's when he just disappeared."
Daryl then put us on last blood, and the work began. It was a long, difficult search, and there were times that each of us made a miraculous discovery of blood when the other seven had all but given up on the trail. Sometimes those discoveries were as tiny as pinheads and located off the established trails.
Such efforts should be rewarded, and it was a long time before anyone had the courage to say the words we were all thinking. We had tracked that buck for more than four hours, through thickets, over fences and across fields. But when the trail led us directly into a thigh-high creek with no sign of the buck on the other side (yes, we waded through the water and scoured the opposite bank), we were out of options.
Daryl thanked us for our efforts and asked us all to get back to our camps or homes to get some rest. He promised updates throughout the day as he planned to pick up the search again in the morning, rain or no rain.
For once, the weatherman was right, and it poured buckets that night. It was no surprise when Daryl called to report a complete lack of progress. He had found nothing past our last few drops at the creek.
"I was just sick," he said. "You don't want to lose any deer, but when you lose a buck like that, it's that much worse. Plus, I was still thinking a lot about Cole, and it really put a damper on my enthusiasm. I kept hunting, but the whole time I questioned why I was even in the tree."
When I left Illinois on Nov. 12 and returned to Alabama, Daryl was still doing everything he could to learn something about the fate of his monster 8-pointer. Nevertheless, I never expected the picture message I received on my cell phone on Nov. 13. It was a blurry picture of the biggest 8-pointer I'd ever seen with a caption that read, "Guess what?"
As it turned out, Ray Hietpas, an avid bowhunter who frequents a neighboring property, found the buck and called Daryl.
"Ray had trail camera pictures of the deer, and when he heard my description of what I had shot, he knew exactly what deer it was," Daryl said. "Ray was in his treestand on the 12th, and shortly after daylight the crows started coming in like crazy. He said to himself, 'There's Daryl's deer.' He didn't have to call me, and I could still be walking around depressed over this deer. I can't thank Ray enough."
As the two hunters stood in awe of the majestic 8-pointer, they couldn't help put the puzzle together.
"Ray found that deer less than 300 yards from where he got trail camera pictures of it," Daryl said. "Like Ray said, this is a case of a buck getting rut crazy, leaving his home range in search of love, and then trying to return home when things got rough."

Frozen Waterfalls.
A beautiful frozen waterfall located in Miyun County.
A waterfall at the foot of Flamemountain (Turfan, XinJiang province) with a 20 meters drop which has frozen over.
'One of the unnamed frozen waterfalls close to Skookum Falls, the third waterfall along the trail if you start from Forest Service Road 73 (Huckleberry Creek Road).'
Upper mich. Lanse Mi.
There are more 71 beautiful images of frozen water falls taken by QT Luong. This is one amazing gallery of frozen waterfalls which you shouldn't miss for the world: link.
The flow of water was stopped completely over American Falls & Horseshoe Falls on March 29th 1848. "Due to an icejam in the upper river for several hours. This is the only known time to have occurred. The Falls did not actually freeze over, but the flow was stopped to the point where people actually walked out and recovered artifacts from the riverbed".
People congregate below the Frozen American Falls.

Frozen Niagara River and the Horseshoe Falls.
Even during the coldest months, "When the temperatures are right, some of the falling water freezes instantly on the block ice and form great ice falls in front of the actual waterfalls. Such formations grow further forming castle turrets and other outcrop patterns as the mist settles on them. On occasion, a ice bridge forms across the Niagara River within the Great Gorge below the Falls as a result of the laying down of these ice blocks".
On six reported occasions (1883, 1896, 1904, 1909, 1936 and 1947), the water flow over American Falls was totally stopped due to ice. But only once has this happened to the much larger Horseshoe Falls (originally known as the Canadian Falls): March 29-31, 1848, the Days Niagara Falls Went Dry".

The audience was small for Fayette's public information meeting regarding two levy requests in the Nov. 6 general election, but that doesn't mean the discussion was also light. Several questions followed a presentation by village administrator Steve Blue.
Replacing the levy updates the value to current property assessments rather than simply renewing the existing value. Blue first addressed the request for replacement of the existing levy for parks and recreation. The park levy was last replaced in 1998, so it won't bring as stark a change as the general operating levy that hasn't been replaced since passage in 1968.
The park levy would bring an additional $5,600 to help with general maintenance needs including resurfacing the basketball courts, removal of dead and dying trees and stumps, ball diamond upkeep, repair of the broken scoreboard and maintenance of playground equipment.
Replacement of the 2.9-mill general operating levy would add about $21,000 to village coffers. Although the money cannot be targeted for a specific purpose, village council members know exactly how they want to use the money: to repay a 10-year loan for a street paving project. A grant covers nearly half of the $401,000 project. The village's loan costs nearly match the additional funds that replacement would bring in.
Nearly all village streets will be resurfaced either through the upcoming sewer project or through the project listed above.
Blue notes that the replacement request does not affect any property tax other than that paid to the village.
The owner of a home valued at $75,000 would pay an additional $54 a year, or about a dollar a week.
"That's something we feel is affordable to most everybody," Blue said.
For a $50,000 home, the increase would lead to an additional $36 a year. Residents who are 65 years or older, or are disabled, can apply for a homestead exemption. This subtracts $25,000 from the value of a home for taxation purposes. The exemption also applies to agricultural land.
To compute a tax rate, visit the county auditor's website at fultoncountyoh.com or call the auditor's office at 419/337-9200.
SCHEDULE—Eugene Rosinski asked when the road repair would begin. Blue said there are three projects scheduled next year: the sewer separation project; the street resurfacing; and a road project near the TRW plant. Construction should be complete by late summer or early fall.
STREETS—Rosinski also wondered about the width of streets. Some streets are narrower in certain areas, Blue said, and the aim is to create a uniform width. Curbing is not included in the project. Some areas that have streets in very good condition will not be included in the resurfacing. State highway is not included, although ODOT has scheduled repaving on U.S. 20 in 2014.
The TRW project will address the road on the north side of the plant where pavement is crumbling.
TRUCK ROUTE—Steve Snider asked about the idea to make Industrial Parkway a truck route to U.S. 127. Blue said he is not aware of any plans for that. The township owns half of the road where it passes through the village, he said, and township officials would be asked to cooperate in the cost of any improvements made in town.
Police chief Jason Simon pointed out that the creation of a truck route would probably attract a lot of car traffic, as well, something that business owners would not favor. Over the course of a day, he said, a truck passes through Fayette an average of every 90 seconds, with very few traffic incidents.
Street repair needs are one of the most frequent complaints lodged at the village office, Blue said.
"This is the time to jump on it and take advantage of that," he said about the grant/loan program.
PARKS—Rosinski wondered what would happen if the park replacement fails. Blue said there's sufficient money for basic operations, but larger projects will take longer to tackle.
Blue was asked if non-residents pay a fee to use the parks. Blue stated that fees are charged for softball tournaments and for the school to use the facilities.
Audience member Burt Blue noted that many township residents use the parks at no cost. When Blue was a park board member several years ago, the township board was approached about contributing funds to the operations of parks, but township trustees were not interested.
Administrator Blue said the some communities have joint park districts in cooperation with townships.
Mayor Ruth Marlatt suggested that costs should be examined and shown to township residents. In that way, she said, they could see how little financial support would cost and how much it would benefit the park program which is used by everyone.

Minimal further differentiates itself from the competitors by introducing new materials
Minimal is introducing new wood doors with veneers thick enough (4 millimeters = 0.15 inches) to be used as countertops, making the cabinets as strong as solid wood whilst still maintaining a light weight and eliminating any chance of warping. The new veneers, significantly stronger than those used by competition, come in a multitude of different woods and can be custom finished to match the customers' preferences.
This, together with other innovations, are a testament to Minimal's continuous research & development efforts aimed at offering the latest technological innovations together with their cutting edge design. Minimal designs do not have to be cold and the use of these prestigious woods is often used to warm up any environment.
This new concept of incredibly strong material, will be presented during the party that Minimal USA is organizing in its Chelsea's showroom for the 2013 ICFF week. The party, coveted event for design fans, will allow guests to preview and touch this and other special features that Minimal will introduce later this year.

As many of you know, I recently moved to Philadelphia, a wonderful American city that's home to excellent restaurants, and thrilling history, and beautiful architecture, and a wide range of bicyclists who received their training from the Grand Theft Auto franchise.
To help illustrate what I mean, allow me to provide an example based on a recent incident I had with a bicyclist. Here's what happened: I was turning into traffic on a narrow, busy street, so I had to block the bike lane in order to see what was coming. So I'm sitting there for 10, maybe 15 seconds, waiting for traffic to pass, when a bicyclist rides right up to my door and throws up his hands in disgust, as if I had just accidentally stepped on his cat, and there was now feline intestines all over his living room.
Now, normally, I would take the blame here, because many years of complaints from bicyclists have taught me that you must never enter the bike lane, even if you are a pedestrian crossing with a walk signal. But here's the deal: I was sitting there for quite a while before he rode up, so it wasn't like I startled him. He just decided, from half a block away, Hey, there's a guy blocking the bike lane! I'm going to ride right up to his door and get annoyed! And there's another crucial wrinkle to this story: it was night time, which means it was dark, and this guy had decided lighting wasn't necessary for his particular bicycle. So I never even saw him until he was standing next to my door, acting like a large, angry child with elbow pads.
I felt like bringing up these points to the guy, but I've discovered that people like this aren't exactly the quickest bike in the Tour de France, if ya know what I mean. What I mean is, I've come to learn that people like this have the brainpower for approximately nine phrases, one of which is "Whaddya," and four of which are complaints about the Eagles. So I continued on with my day, and now I'm doing society some good by whining about the incident on the Internet.
But I've decided I can do more than just complain. In fact, I can create a few helpful tips about sharing the road, which will surely remind us all to be safer and more courteous, whether we're using pedal power or horsepower™. And so, without further ado, we begin with…
1. Blocking the bike lane. There is nothing bicyclists complain about more than people who block the bike lane. If there had been a bicyclist present when that crazy Navy SEAL team went in to kill Osama bin Laden, he would've stopped the whole thing, right then and there, and said: "WAIT! OSAMA! What is your opinion on blocking the bike lane?"
And if Osama had said "You should never block the bike lane!", then the bicyclist would've insisted that the troops stand down, and go home, and he would've given Osama a nice pair of headphones that he could listen to while running red lights.
But here's the deal: in our modern society of delivery trucks and pickups and drop-offs and crowded streets, cars will sometimes block the bike lane. Whenever bicyclists hear this, they become indignant and insist that it's a horrible travesty, and how would you like it if I blocked your lane? And my response is: bicyclists block my lane all the time, by moving at the speed of tree growth. And you know what I do? I drive past them, providing ample room, and I don't complain about it, until they re-pass me again while I'm stopped at a red light and I have to repeat the entire process again in the next block.
This is what I like to call sharing the road. Sometimes cars will block bicycles. Sometimes bicycles will block cars. We will all be blocked by people who drive Acuras. But this is the way of the world, and we have no choice but to accept it, like we do with other annoyances, such as grocery store organization, and airport security, and Barbara Streisand.
2. Lighting. When I go out in my car at night, I find it a high priority to turn on my headlights. In fact, I consider it one of my highest priorities, aside from not doing stupid things like driving through parks or going the wrong way down the interstate or operating a Toyota Corolla. But in my experience, many bicyclists don't view lighting as such an important priority. In fact, what I've noticed, after several months here in Philadelphia, is that many cyclists believe lighting is somewhere in the mid-20s when it comes to priorities, right between "what song is on my iPod?" and "do I own a cat?"
So here I would like to say that one of the many important components of getting cars and bicycles to get along is that all of them should have lights, both front and rear. I would especially want to have lights if I were a 200-pound person riding a 40-pound bicycle, and I was sharing the road with giant, fast-moving vehicles that weigh as much as small dwellings. But perhaps that's just me.
3. Paying attention. I will happily concede one important point to most bicyclists: they pay attention a lot better than most drivers. In fact, I'd say that 95 percent of cyclists are constantly monitoring their surroundings, and aware of nearby vehicles, and looking at pedestrians, and traffic signals, because if they don't, they might find their face embedded in a sewer grate.
Whereas drivers don't have the same amount at stake. With drivers, the worst thing that can happen is they may accidentally hit a fire hydrant, and all the local children will come out in bathing suits and floaties in order to take a quick swim down the street. So as a result, car drivers conduct a wide range of activities behind the wheel, including texting, yelling, eating, applying makeup, baking, wondering who created the name "aardvark," rolling quarters, surfing the web, changing, and giving birth, just to name a few of my personal indulgences.
However, I am willing to make a concession to the bicyclists: I promise to cut out all the distractions if you promise to get lights for your bicycles. Meanwhile, we can both promise to share the road, in the sense that I will continue to block the bike lanes, and you will continue to slow down the traffic lanes, and we will both continue to whine about one another on the Internet.

In my defense, it was flipping HOT and there were a BAJILLION people out and parking was at a crazy premium and it just all made for unsavory conditions.
These pics are awesome though! I must make it back!!!

I know I should probably just let it go, but does this cause anyone besides me to question either the listening skills, technical skills or ????? about the previous tests that cited PT Mix and the Oxford as indistiguishable? Much was made of that at the time, IIRC.
Somebody screwed up. Them or us? (I know what I think.)
Lynn, BTW, can you run the differences on the #18? To my ear, that and #1 are the most pleasing of the DAWs, and in the case of #18 I believe the Peak and RMS levels all match to 1/100 of a dB and it nulls down to -117 IIRC. That would be very interesting to me as a difference picture, since that is the combination of the deepest null with the greatest sonic difference to my ears.

OK, I'm so late to the party - but I've been busy - just trying to get onto this - so mix#1 is the only Standout mix as I go thru them - at least now I know I'm probably not imagining it - I know I'lll probably be eating some aged crow at some point for blurting this out , but I'm trying not to read ahead

In Hear This, A.V. Club writers sing the praises of songs they know well—some inspired by a weekly theme and some not, but always songs worth hearing.
The fourth album by beloved indie-rock band Versus, Two Cents Plus Tax, came out in May of 1998, 15 years that feel like a lifetime ago as far as lead track "Atomic Kid" is concerned. It's a meditation on nostalgia for the Cold War, the end of which, "Atomic Kid" asserts, left war hawks jonesing for an enemy to obsess over: "Disappointed the threat is gone / Get nostalgic for bombing runs / But don't you think it's true / We'll be afraid again soon?"
How prescient that line proved to be. Three months after Two Cents Plus Tax's release, Osama Bin Laden and al-Qaeda made their first big move by bombing the U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya. Two years later, they struck again with the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole. No one needs to be reminded about what followed in September of 2001.
I hadn't sought out "Atomic Kid" after what happened in Boston; I just happened to be listening to my favorite Two Cents Plus Tax song—the nearly seven-minute epic "Morning Glory," a Hear This for another day, perhaps—when I started the album over and was struck, once again, by Richard Baluyut's lyrics: "Don't you think it's true we'll be afraid again soon?" It was an odd question to ask during peacetime while the U.S. economy thrived. Fifteen years later, as the Boston Marathon bombing proved so well, it's not even a question anymore.

Compare cheap flights to Ukraine
Ukraine is enveloped by Russia, Belarus, Slovakia, Romania, Poland and Hungary in Central Europe, thus the nickname borderland. It is surrounded by the Carpathians and the Crimean Mountains, but they are not very high, and the country is mostly composed of steppes. Kiev is the capital of Ukraine and there you can see different points of interest that tourists all over the world visit.
Ukraine's Climate
Ukrainian climate is composed of the four seasons. Winter in Ukraine is rather mild. There is snow but the cold is fairly bearable. During the summer, the air is hot and humid, so you must wear comfortable and light clothes when you visit Ukraine during the summer months of May to October. Fall and spring are also very ideal for tourist visits.
The Crimean Peninsula
The Crimean Peninsula was nicknamed "the playground of the tsars" because of its paradise-like coastline and beaches. This is a must-visit in Ukraine during the summer as the beaches teem with tourists from all over the world. It is on National Geographic's 2013 list of must see places around the world.
More Sights and Attractions
The Kamianets-Podilskyi Castle is another must see in Ukraine. And if you are the outdoorsy type, you can go hiking and bask in the natural beauty of the castle and its surroundings. Hot air ballooning is another activity that you can try. Other historic and cultural buildings abound in Kiev and the whole of Ukraine as well, like the Church of Saint John the Baptist built in the 16th century and the Ruska and Polska gates. The Cossack Games is just one of many annual activities held in Ukraine, so make sure to research before you fly to Ukraine. You will not miss any exciting and culturally enriching activity while you're in Ukraine.

I'm looking into Leaflet and I'm surprised that it doesn't (seem to) specify coordinates in Web Mercator like other popular APIs, but instead uses decimal degrees.
Are all coordinates in Leaflet specified in decimal degrees? Is there a function to translate into other coordinate systems (as in the geographicToWebMercator option in ArcGIS)?

The story of a Polish nun discovering the truth about her past suffers from a weak script.
There's a good movie to be made about the back-to-back evils wreaked upon Poland by the Nazi and Soviet regimes, but "Ida" just ain't it. Yes, I know it's receiving sparkling reviews, but director Pawel Pawlikowski's ode to his homeland is not only puerile and preposterous, it's also trite and insensitive to Jews and Catholics. But, boy, does his film look terrific, shot in gorgeous black and white and formatted in a 4:3 ratio that makes it look like it was filmed way back in 1962, the year in which the story is set.
It also boasts two crackerjack performances by Agata Kulesza and striking newcomer Agata Trzebuchowska, a fresh-faced teen who was allegedly discovered – shades of old Hollywood – in a Warsaw coffee shop. Not only is she a gaminesque beauty, she's also one helluva an actress, which makes it all the more frustrating that the script by Pawlikowski and Rebecca Lenkiewicz is so shot full of holes. In it, Trzebuchowska plays an 18-year-old novice nun one week short of her final vows. Her name is Anna, and before making that lifetime commitment, Mother Superior insists that the orphaned Anna travel to Lodz to meet the communist aunt (Kulesza) she never knew she had.
There rests the first of the script's many holes. Why would the nunnery wait so long to tell Anna about her long-lost relative? Yet, that might have been forgivable if the tale didn't turn so doggone ridiculous, beginning with Anna learning for the first time that she's indeed Jewish and her real name is Ida Lebenstein. Again, why would they keep that from her? Was the abbey beneath its recruitment level and in need of keeping her cloistered at all costs? It just doesn't add up. Neither does the road trip Anna/Ida takes with her Aunt Wanda to the family homestead, now occupied by the trashy clan that first hid, then killed, Anna/Ida's parents during the Nazi occupation.
Along the way, the women pick up a handsome, hitchhiking sax player (Dawid Ogrodnik) who turns out to be a dreamboat, natch. And the way he plays Coltrane is nearly enough to persuade the virginal Anna/Ida to exchange her habits for a roll in the sheets. Assuming Aunt Wanda, a Soviet judge by day, and a self-confessed "slut" by night, doesn't get to the dude first.
It continues to get harder to buy the pap Pawlikowski's selling, as he reaches deep into his bag of ludicrous plot points, beginning with the slayer of Anna/Ida's parents presenting a "shocking" deal: In exchange for letting the killer keep her folks' farm, he will show the woman where he buried the bodies – and dig them up to boot. The excavation yields but a few bones, which the women promptly wrap in shawls and stash in the trunk of their proletariat-style sedan. Excuse me if I'm being too logical, but wouldn't it make more sense to simply call the police? It only gets worse, as this mercifully short 80-minute snoozefest enters an almost darkly comic third act in which a person leaps out a window and Anna/Ida indulges in a night of sexual and substance-abusing debauchery before strolling back to the convent. Not only is it all silly, it doesn't make a lick of sense in the context of the story. It's as if Pawlikowski (director of the vastly superior "My Summer of Love") decided to make stuff up as he went along.
Clearly, the point he's attempting to make via the two women is that one is oppressed by an unyielding Soviet regime and the other by a religion that's not even her birthright. But it all feels rote and uninvolving, stirring unintended giggles instead of the tears he so desperately seeks. It's such a waste, too, because the look, the mood and the subject matter are worthy of so much more than "Ida" offers, which is sadly as dull and austere as life in the Soviet Union.

Revealed! Amazing Lifestyle of Nigerian Pastors' Wives FOLU ADEBOYE
Folu Adeboye is the wife of Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. She is a veteran teacher who started her teaching career as a spinster and in the course of her life acquired various teaching skills. She is fondly called Mummy G.O; Mrs. Adeboye is a strong pillar, a visionary and a wonderful planner who complements the efforts of her husband. Her sterling attributes have helped her husband to obey God's command to become great.
One thing many can attest to is the fact that she loves being modest in all she does; she does not like being flamboyant just like her husband. She carved out a style for herself that has become hers. Any time she is spotted, one is bound to see her mostly dressed in skirt suit and a hat to match; if she is doing traditional, she makes sure that whatever she wears depicts her as a woman of desirable quality.
The hat has become her trademark of sort. Though, she is chauffeur driven all the time, she prefers the not too loud auto mobiles because of her belief. It is also rare to see her wearing jewelries; this also applies to her make-ups.
She is the director of Teen and Children Ministry, RCCG, president of Good Women Ministry, an educationist and a practical theologian.
She is a role model to a lot of women and in great demand in Christian conferences, seminars and programmes in Nigeria and beyond. She is blessed with four biological children.
Yemisi Ashimolowo is the wife of Pastor Ashimolowo, the senior pastor of KICC, the fastest growing church in Western Europe where over 10,000 members worship every Sunday. As the resident pastor of KICC's lead church, and the head of KICC's Winning Women Ministry, Pastor Yemisi oversees the spiritual lives of more than 5,000 women. Her personal ministry is to equip women of God with the necessary knowledge; gifts and talents to enable them reach their potential in Christ.
Yemisi is very active in her husband's ministry. She is a woman who has decided not to stay behind the door but just next to her husband.
One thing that is noticeable about this respected lady is her love for good things of life; a thing that is often preached by her husband. Her jewelries though are moderate but those who know her claim she spends a lot on this fashion item. Another thing that takes some part of her money is her shoes; we were informed that she shops at the best stores in the world. Because of her big frame, she likes to adorn clothes that compliment her. And she likes her hair mostly to flow backwards; either in fringes, braids or fixing of long hair. She is blessed with two sons, Tobi and Tomi.
She is the widow of the popular late man of God, Most Rev. Prof. Benson Idahosa of the Church of God Mission. She is the presiding bishop of the church. The pretty mother was born on the 29th of July 1943 into the royal lineage of the Benin Kingdom. She is the first female Pentecostal Bishop of a ministry in Africa. She is one of the powerful female pastors Nigeria has produced.
Margaret Idahosa is stylish in every sense; though she's advancing in age, this has in no way altered her love for fashion. The very articulate soul winner many years ago fell in love with American soul singer Anita Baker and ever since she has stuck with her style. A good number of times when you see Margaret Idahosa, it is most certain that she will wear the Anita Baker Hair Style. Though, once in a while she changes this unique style of hers, but even when she's not wearing the Anita Baker's style, she will be wearing another short hair style.
She is also a perfect example of how a virtuous woman should dress.
She is the wife of the General Superintendent of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi. She was the administrator of the church in London before she became the first lady of the church. The 65 years old who was never married got hooked to her husband on the 13th of October 2010, in London. She was one of the 15 founding members of the church in 1973 and she became the lucky wife of the handsome preacher after his late wife, Biodun Kumuyi died in 2009.
And just like where she resided before the arrow of Pastor Kumuyi pierced her heart, she is known to be a conservative to the core. Her dress sense is unadventurous yet sits well on her. Her trademark however is her hat which we learnt can take a fortune off her purse. She does not like jewelries at all; and this is said to be because of her belief that has been with her for over four decades. Those who know her claimed she would have loved to be at the background but her union with Pastor Kumuyi eroded this love of hers.
Faith Oyedepo is the wife of Rev. David Oyedepo, the founder of the Living Faith Church worldwide AKA, Winners Chapel.
For some months, the woman of God battled with an unexplainable illness but she came out victorious. Faith Oyedepo played a vital role in her husband's ministry. In her teachings, she focuses on the family, marriage and healing.
Faith Oyedopo has a unique style that has not changed for many years. She juggles between skirt suit and traditional wears. Though, she does not like her dressing to be on the loud side, that however is not the same with her love for jewelries; the better half of the flamboyant pastor likes to expend a lot on jewelries. Another thing that is noticeable about Pastor Faith is her hair. She likes her hair short and hardly would you see her in long hair. But if you think she likes fixing the hair on her head then you got it totally wrong. Pastor Faith has a mannequin that she sends to her hair stylist who in turn makes hair on a wig. The wig will then be taken to her to wear. This became her style after her battle with ill heath, we were told. She drives all the flamboyant cars her husband drives and she has no apology for living a good life. She and her husband are blessed with four children-David Jr. Isaac, Love and Joy.
Peace Okonkwo is the first lady of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM) headed by Bishop Okonkwo. The 59-year old pretty wife met her husband in the church where they were both youth members of the church. Being a shy person, Pastor Okonkwo confided in her elder sister to tell her he likes her and they started their relationship from there.
Peace Okonkwo is a different breed of believers; though she keeps by the tenet of the religion but she is liberal when it comes to her dress sense. She is loud with her mode; her clothes, her jewelries and also other fashion accessories. Unlike most that won't touch trousers, she does not see anything wrong in wearing it. She even wears jeans at times with a good shirt to complement it. Aside this, she makes up and she does not toy with her hair. Though most times she likes hiding her hair in a hat or head tie but that in no way diminishes her love to keep her hair glowing all the time. Peace takes time to look after her family, she ensures that her husband eats her food when she cooks; according to those who have the ears of the Okonkwos, the Bishop hardly eats because he fasts almost everyday. So any day he is off fasting, Peace makes sure she cooks his food..
They are blessed with children.
Helen is the wife of popular founder of Word of the Bible Church, Pastor Ayo Orishejafor. The pretty wife who is fondly called "Mama" by friends and members of the church is the right hand of the popular pastor who is known for his aggressive way of preaching. She is the assistant pastor in the church. Herself and her husband got married after the death of his first wife, Stella.
She is the Chief Executive Officer of Eagle Flight Microfinance Bank. Mama Helen, as she is fondly called holds a regular TV show on African Broadcasting Network, "Mama Helen And You". She is a woman of style and her trademark is the flamboyant way she ties her headgear.
Nike Adeyemi is the first lady of Day Star Christian Centre, Oregun, Lagos. The church that is headed by the couple has drawn thousands of Nigerian youth to the mega church. She is a 43-year old mother of three who graduated from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife where she studied Architecture. Pastor Nike, as she is fondly called by people is a woman who is very visible in the ministry which is co-headed by her and the husband, Sam Adeyemi. The soft-spoken wife of popular Sam Adeyemi plays a major role in the church and is loved by all because of her simple and humble nature. Nike also heads various organizations that basically address all the issues that women go through daily in relationship with one another, their families and the society at large. She drives a BMW car and she loves to dress moderately.
Anita Oyakhilome is the wife of Christ Embassy's Chris Oyakhilome who is popularly known as Pastor Chris. Anita is the Director of the Christ Embassy's International Office; she also pastors the branch in the United Kingdom.
Her husband, Chris Oyakhilome is a popular televangelist who is known for his "Atmosphere for miracle" TV broadcast aired nationwide. Just like the husband, Anita is flashy. Her skin colour also adds to her flamboyancy that anything she wears comes out showy on her. Her hair is rich and natural. Anywhere she steps, her presence will be felt because she has this arresting aura around her. All what she wears we were told are from high streets around the world. She spends money on what will add to her beauty because she knows money is not spent elsewhere except on planet earth. She is a mother of two children.
She is married to Prophet Samson Ayorinde, the General Overseer of World Evangelism Bible Church, Lagos. She was a devout Muslim who converted to Christianity. Besides running programmes with her husband, she has a passion for those seeking children and she reaches out to such people through her programme called 'Operation Fruitfulness'. She also runs a widow's ministry. The mother of five is a poultry science graduate of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.
The pretty, amiable and soft-spoken prophetess is loved and respected because of her friendly nature.
She is the pretty wife of the Fountain of Life's Pastor Taiwo Odukoya. The beautiful slim woman is from South Africa. She was formerly Miss Rosemary Simangele Zulu before she got hooked to the founder of the church few years after the death of his first wife, Bimbo Odukoya.
The pretty wife who was a United Kingdom based music director met her husband during one of his many trips overseas.
According to members of the church, Rosemary Odukoya is a gentle and calm woman who doesn't intimidate any one with her status as the bride of the foremost preacher. Rosemary has never made it obvious to any one that she is the wife of the highly esteemed man of God; she'll rather do things herself, than wait for an aide to help her out. But if there is anything she loves most, it's said to be her hair.
Her long hair is one pleasure she holds dear to her heart. Most times, she employs the services of a stylist around the Ikeja axis who takes care of her hair. Even when she was going to the UK, she wanted her stylist to follow her so as to attend to her most treasured asset. That the husband commands so much respect in the society has not changed the way she carries herself or behaves to others. She's so humble that in a short while, many have been making her a worthy model to take after.
Pastor Jumoke Adeyemi is the first lady of Global Harvest Churches International and wife of popular Ibadan based Pastor Victor Adeyemi, who is also a brother to popular Sam Adeyemi, pastor of Day Star Christian Centre.
Mama, as she is fondly called is noted for her unique style of delivery on the pulpit. She preaches with great passion and illustration in an exclusive way.
Pastor Jumoke holds a masters degree in Personnel Psychology from University of Ibadan. She is a mother of four kids, Charlotte, Jemimah, Sharon and Arnold.
Evelyn is adorable wife of the General Overseer of the Synagogue Church of all Nations. The beautiful wife is also a minister at the Synagogue Church. She is said to be a woman who is the next most powerful force behind the popular pastor, T.B Joshua, a workaholic and a wonderful counselor who complements her husband. Evelyn, in an interview, said she counts herself very lucky among women to have T.B Joshua as a husband.
No one knew about the existence of this beautiful wife of controversial pastor until she was revealed and interviewed some few years ago. Many people wondered who the better-half of the bearded pastor was not until she came out in the open. She is beautiful no doubt but the things of the world do not attract her so much that she just loves being moderate with the way she puts her clothes together. There is no gain saying that the husband is one of the richest in the evangelism world but that does not translate her into being ostentatious.
Stephanie is the beautiful wife of Chris Okotie, the pastor and founder of Household of God, Lagos. The Calabar born pretty lady who was once a widow became Pastor Okotie's wife three years ago. According to her funky husband, Chris, he got married to Stephanie because she is the most unique individual that he has met in his entire life.
The couple got married on the 7th of August 2008 in a three-day elaborate ceremony. The beautiful first lady of the Household of God is in her 40s and a mother of three. Aside Kris Okotie buying many cars for her, she was recently blessed with the latest edition from the Honda family, known as Cross Tour.

Water hammer can cause pipelines to break or induced damage to equipment if the water hammer is severe enough.
Oscillating pressure waves generated in a water pipe following an abrupt alteration of the flow. The pressure surge oscillates back and forth in the pipe system until dampened by the system. It occurs in a closed piping system as a result of the pressure being rapidly increased when the liquid velocity is suddenly increased. This damaging effect is usually the result of sudden starting, stopping, change in pump speed, or the sudden opening or closing of a valve.
The severity of the phenomenon is dependent on a number of variables, such as change of velocity during the reflection cycle, pipe material characteristics (e.g. stiffness) as well as liquid characteristics. Water hammer can cause pipelines to break or induce damage to equipment if the water hammer is severe enough. However moderate water hammer can be positive if it is kept to a level where it does not damage the piping as the "blow" can release settled matter in the pipeline.
Water hammer can be controlled by regulating valve closure times, by including stand pipes (open at the top), surge chambers or relief valves into the system. These arrangements will act as dampers by providing a cushion to absorb the force of moving water in order to prevent damage to the system.

Etihad announces major Virgin Blue partnership
Virgin Blue Holdings Limited and Etihad Airways have signed an agreement establishing a commercial partnership that will enable Virgin Blue's international arm, V Australia, to launch direct services to Abu Dhabi in 2011 and the two airlines offer a joint network of more than 100 destinations from October 1, 2010.
Both parties will move towards a total of 27 weekly services between Abu Dhabi and Australia – including double-daily services between Abu Dhabi and Sydney, daily Melbourne-Abu Dhabi flights and six frequencies per week between Abu Dhabi and Brisbane.
V Australia will operate three Sydney-Abu Dhabi services per week from February 2011 and three Brisbane-Abu Dhabi services per week by February 2012, using its new fleet of three-class Boeing 777-300ER and becoming the first Australian carrier to operate to the Middle East since 1991.
From October, Virgin Blue Group customers can access Etihad's network of 65 destinations across North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent. All Virgin Blue services will be available to Etihad customers, opening up 44 destinations in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, and to Asia and Los Angeles.
The agreement integrates the Etihad Guest and Velocity frequent flyer programmes, allowing members to earn status/tier points and frequent flyer points immediately along with reciprocal service benefits and lounge access for top tier members of both programmes. The ability for members to burn miles on both carriers' services comes into effect from October 1.
John Borghetti, CEO of Virgin Blue Group of Airlines, said the alliance with Etihad allowed it to redefine its long-haul operation and unlock a genuine global network that would be particularly attractive to Virgin Blue's business and international leisure travellers.
"Everybody wins from this partnership. It increases competition, choice and convenience for the travelling public. Etihad will gain access to the valuable domestic feed in Australia and the Virgin Blue Group will gain east bound access to an extensive international network serving multiple destinations across the Middle East, the UK, Europe, Africa and Asia," he said.
"This is a real game changer and positions us as a truly global player. Just as Virgin changed the game in domestic travel ten years ago and last year made huge impacts on the Pacific route, this agreement will bring real benefits for the travelling public. With the impending launch of our product enhancements across the group, Virgin Blue and Etihad are ideally suited as airline partners."
Etihad Airways CEO James Hogan, said the partnership would grow to become one of the Gulf carrier's most significant.
"We are excited to facilitate the entry of V Australia into Abu Dhabi as the first Australian airline to fly to the United Arab Emirates. Australia is a critically important market for Etihad and we are very pleased to be able to provide more capacity on our Australian routes through this partnership," he said.
Hogan said that by partnering across global and regional routes, Etihad and Virgin Blue Group could offer a comprehensive network to customers while realising significant, complementary benefits for the two airlines.
"With our combined route network, we will provide all-important access from Australia to both the USA and Europe, which improves our suitability for both business and leisure travel and puts us right in the race for major corporate travel accounts," he said.
"Virgin Blue is fundamentally reshaping itself and, much like Etihad, they have made huge strides in a short space of time. We know there are huge opportunities in working together very closely in this market."
Under the agreement, the two airlines will explore further avenues of cooperation, and will lodge an application for authorisation with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to allow them to cooperate across a broad range of commercial functions. It is only with this further cooperation that the airlines will be able to offer the full program of benefits the partnership will bring.

Over one MILLION meals packed to date by #BeingUnited family across the 🌎🌍🌏! What an incredible milestone for an incredible organization @Rise2030.
From Sept. 15 through Oct. 15, the U.S. celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month, a chance to pay tribute to the history, culture and contributions that generations of Latinxs have paved to enrich U.S. history. It is also a reminder to celebrate our differences and spark difficult, yet important, conversations.
To kick off the month, UNITE, our multicultural business resource group for employees, did just that by hosting a panel discussion about the immigrant experience and what it means to be an immigrant in the U.S.
United Litigation and Managing Counsel Elizabeth Lopez, who is a pro bono immigration attorney, moderated the panel, and was joined by Ashley Huebner, Associate Director of Legal Services at the National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) and Magdalena Gonzalez, Program Manager, Leadership Development Programs at Hispanic Alliance for Career Enhancement. The three women shared their insights and personal stories, while addressing some misconceptions and highlighting the contributions of immigrants to our company and country.

"I started to notice that there were things I was scared of doing, that I needed to be cautious," said Magdalena while sharing her personal experience as a DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipient. "My friends, who a majority of them are citizens, did not need to worry about that. As I was able to see that, I realized that, 'oh, there's so many things that revolve around not just being a DACA recipient but revolve around being a person with an undocumented status here in the United States.'"
United maintains a close relationship with the NIJC. In May of 2019, United co-hosted an asylum clinic put on by the legal services organization, where several attorneys and legal professionals were trained on representing asylum-seeking applicants. At the end of the clinic, members of our legal department were assigned an asylum case through the NIJC.
Litigation Managing Counsel Elizabeth Lopez, Commercial Transactions Counsel Tiffany Jaspers, Global Compliance and Ethics Counsel Nancy Jacobson and Employment Litigation Senior Manager Dorothy Karpierz were partnered with attorneys from the law firm of McDermott Will & Emery to take on an immigration case of a mother of three from Honduras. Recently, after a years-long court battle, the legal team was victorious, changing the life of the woman and her family.
United is committed to connecting people and uniting the world. Whether you're an immigrant, a child of immigrants or simply want to learn more about the immigrant experience in the U.S., discussions like these, related to this hot-button issue, are important to have in order to understand the human lives behind it.
Your voice matters. Voting is one of the most influential civic activities we can engage in as Americans. At United, our mission is to connect people and unite the world — and one of the most important ways to do that is to engage in the democratic process. That's why we've long provided our employees with resources to help them get registered to vote.
This year, we're taking our support a step further as the official airline of the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). Since the start of the pandemic, we've overhauled our cleaning measures through a program we call United CleanPlusSM , and the CPD has placed their trust in United to fly Commission production staff to each of the four debates, starting with the first one on September 29, hosted by Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve University.
Today, on National Voter Registration Day, we also want to make sure our customers have access to information about how to participate in the 2020 Election. Over the past several months, you've heard a lot from us about how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed air travel. We've learned that with some planning and extra effort, it's still possible — and safe. That's true of voting, too.
No matter which party you support or how you're planning to vote, we know our democracy will be stronger if you make your voice heard and make a plan to vote.

Since its launch 20 years ago, Year Up, one of our critical needs grant recipients, has helped more than 10,000 young adults gain access to corporate business and technical experience at large companies like United while offering the invaluable perspectives they bring with them.
On Wednesday, the nonprofit inducted United into its Opportunity Hall of Fame – a selection that occurs once every five years.
Year Up's mission is to help close the opportunity divide by providing urban young adults with the skills, experience and support that will empower them to reach their potential through professional careers and higher education. Since 2018, our partnership has allowed talented student learners the opportunity to gain corporate business experience and technical skill training at the airline while bringing their unique perspectives to our United family and culture. One of those students is Emily Lopez, who graduated from the Year Up program in January 2019 and was hired to be part of the United family as an analyst in Revenue Management.
"I moved from Venezuela to the United States in July 2016 and being a young immigrant with no resources can be difficult to pursue a career in a new country," said Emily.
After learning about Year Up and ultimately being accepted into the program, Emily landed an internship with United, an opportunity she is very grateful for.
Emily Lopez - Analyst, Pricing & Revenue Management
"Feedback from my mentors, coaches and managers was key during my internship phase and helped me convert my internship at United to a full-time position. I am grateful for the opportunity United has provided me and my Year Up Alumni colleagues to keep building a professional career within the company. I am so excited to continue building a professional career with the company and to see United being inducted to Year Up's Hall of Fame. Let's continue closing the opportunity divide!" said Emily.
Although the coronavirus pandemic has made this year's partnership a bit more difficult, we continue to do our part to support the Year Up student learners. Last month, we surprised 145 graduates of this year's Year Up Chicago program with roundtrip tickets to pursue career and networking opportunities within the United States.
"I've been personally honored and inspired to be an advocate for Year Up since I joined United," said CEO Scott Kirby. "This program gives young people from challenged backgrounds an opportunity to get their foot in the door as interns at United. This year's graduates are entering a challenging job landscape, but we have one thing that can help: a route network that provides easy access to major business markets across the United States."
Together, we are facing an unprecedented challenge. United Together, we rise to meet that challenge.

This is the story of Jason and Shantel. You see, Jason and Shantel love each other very much. They also love traveling and they love the classic Adam Sandler film, The Wedding Singer.
It all began when Jason reached out to United's social media team, hoping for assistance with his upcoming plan to propose. Some phone calls and one borrowed guitar later, the stage was set for Jason. Put all that together, mix in some helpful United employees and, voila, you have a truly memorable marriage proposal. Congratulations to this fun-loving and happy couple, and here's to many more years of making beautiful music together.
A big thank you to Chicago-based flight attendants Donna W., Marie M., Karen J. and Mark K. for making this proposal come to life.

Will Benoit:
Lone Phantom
Living Phantoms, the new project from Constants singer/guitarist Will Benoit, is an artful blend of dreamy Noise pop and modern Electro and Glitch. After five critically acclaimed albums and endless touring with his band, alongside notable production work and touring with post-rockers Caspian and fellow shoegazers Junius, Benoit has shifted focus to remix work, scoring and experimental song writing.
"Almost all the music I'm writing is on an iPad – in a van, a hotel, on a plane or on the beach. I can't express the feeling of inspiration I get when I can look up and see something breathtaking. It gets my head out of the studio and keeps me excited to try new things".
Benoit takes these sessions home to his own Solar Powered Radar Studios, where "I edit, process, rethink and re-sample the sketches and melodies until it feels finished." Living Phantoms is surprisingly uptempo and immediate, but there is still a strong underpinning of experimental elements and a density that has become Benoit's signature.
